Dirty Martini Cardiff in Cardiff

We had a private event with names on the list to get in. So the venue had a headcount of people attending and yet were understaffed and operated just half of the bar. Some people waited up to 1:30hr to get a drink at the bar. I gave up after half hour. Some people were leaving the venue to get a drink at a nextdoor bar and then come back to our work party. Poor sound system and choice of music not thrilling. Positives were Great food, atmosphere and polite staff and security were super lovely.

Lovely brunch Alex’s was a superstar

Visited Dirty Martini for the NYE event and was somewhat disappointed. It was so loud, even far from the DJ the music was averaging at 100 decibels the entire night which I’m hoping hasn’t caused permanent hearing damage. There was no soap in the ladies bathrooms the entire evening which was upsetting and the live saxophonist that was advertised along with other things just wasn’t there, definitely was not worth the money and was a very anti-climatic NYE, would have rather sat in Wetherspoons.

Myself and a few friends from work and family members met up for a few drinks and we ended up staying 5 hours or more once the staff member opened up the happy hour. The cocktails were amazing: Thanks for a great afternoon.

Beth was amazing! Definitely come again was so attentive!

Lovely brunch today at Dirty Martini - We did the festive bottomless brunch, today on Boxing Day. Beth was outstanding, she was so attentive and engaging with customers. We have come from outside of Cardiff, and will diffiently recommend here to our family and friends. Plus the food was top notch! Thank you 🙂

Bottomless brunch for 18th birthday. We arrived before our time slightly and were shown to an area not big enough for our party of 11. We were relocated on request and then the drinks were ordered not once but twice they came over and we stated we were still waiting on the 1st order to which she replied I’ll just take it again. Then drinks arrived and we’re out on 1 table so no one got what they ordered. On request one party asked for a different drink and when the waitress bought it over she said “this one is for the lady who was complaining” Considering we all spent £37.50 each so over £400 in total for his experience we found that to be extremely rude. Before long we were receiving drinks that no one ordered! One extreme to another! At one point we had 3 espresso martinis that no one ordered, which would have been fine if any of us actually liked them. Food was ok but id recommend pre ordering if you want extras off the menu like chips as were we not allowed to have add them while there. Venue is stunning, smelt a bit of bleach when you first walk in but that’s never a bad thing to know it’s clean.

CHECK YOUR BILL!!!!! They overcharged us by nearly half. We had the most awful time here, booked but no booking 🤷 so waited nearly 45mins for a table only to then wait an hour for drinks, our booking was only for 2 hrs anyway. Watching the tables around us having up to three services and us without any drinks. Wondered if we had offended somebody in any way. Luckily I hadn't had much to drink so noticed the wrong charge. Won't be going back.

There were 6 of us booked in for bottomless brunch for a friends birthday, booking made on the 21st of October, with full upfront payment, with us being booked in for the 14th of December. Cardiff was extremely busy with it being a Saturday and close to Christmas, and when we arrived at Dirty Martini, we were one of the first groups waiting to be sat, while more groups were flocking in to be seated also. We waiting around 15 minutes after our slot should have started and then got ushered to a small room on the right side of the main doors as you walk in. This was away from the main area and DJ who had started their set. It was a well lit room with a cocktail party already in there. It was absolutely freezing as there was only a curtain separating us from the entrance, with the cold air was gushing in and dull atmosphere with the DJ set being heard faintly through the speakers. We had spoken to a lady when we arrived who said they were overbooked, and then the second lady who claimed she was the manager telling us there's nothing they can do. A group of women wanted to be in a quieter area away from the main room and so we thought we were going to swap with them. Upon them entering the room we were sat in, they took one look and were horrified, going back to their original table in the main room that they initially didn't want to be sat at … that says a lot. There was no apology or effort to resolve the matter, and said that we would have to wait up to a week for our refund to be issued, meaning we were left forking out more money for food elsewhere and unable to book bottomless brunch anywhere else, resorting us to Five Guys haha. We were not spending our money there after the way we were treated and the carelessness directed toward the situation. To make matters worse, upon heading to the toilet before leaving (45 minutes after our table was booked for), we saw that there was a table for 6-8 people in the main room all set up ready for a bottomless brunch reserved for 5PM. Our booking was at 4 o clock and they had that table free the whole time. You would think that they would prioritise us earlier bookings. A planned day out ruined. I will not be coming back here for any occasion. At the end of the day, it's the principle of it all. If you realise you've overbooked, then more effort should be out into resolving these issues, or take a good look at the booking system and sort it out. Being a well established business, you would expect a lot more organisation and structure.

Booked a bottomless brunch for 6 people for a friends birthday 6 weeks ago and paid in full around £230.00 upfront. We arrived last night to be put in bar area by the entrance to venue away from atmosphere, there was no music and tables weren’t set up like they had been set up upstairs and it was freezing cold. It was like a waiting area. Not what we expected for nearly £40 per person. No apology or compensation considering time of year we could not book anywhere else on such short notice and was not going to stay there after the way we were treated. Told we have to wait a week for a refund, and had to take a screenshot of the message sent before we left to ensure we would get our refund. I am a manager myself and the icing on the cake was being lied to, spoke to two different women who claimed to be the ‘manager’ and was told we couldn’t sit on a free table upstairs as that was booked for a brunch an hour later. They said a table upstairs wanted to sit in a quieter area, when the girls came down to see the table they refused it as it was that bad. Service was appalling. We had to complain to have a bottle of Prosecco given to us to keep us quiet. Would give 0 stars if I could, staff were not helpful and ruined a birthday. I will not step foot back in this venue, and recommend booking a bottomless brunch at other great venues in Cardiff and giving this one a miss! I will be putting in a formal complaint.

POR FAVOR MANTENTE ALERTA Y REVISA TU FACTURA. NOS COBRARON ERRÓNEAMENTE CASI EL DOBLE, ¡PREOCUPADOS POR CUÁNTOS OTROS LE HABRÁ PASADO ESTO SIN SABERLO! Absolutamente horrible experiencia que arruinó nuestro día. Reservamos una mesa, no pudieron encontrar nuestra reserva, les mostró la confirmación por correo electrónico, pero eso no cambió nada. Finalmente nos sentamos después de media hora, nos quedamos esperando más de una hora para una bebida (solo teníamos una reserva de dos horas) cuando otras mesas a nuestro alrededor habían tenido hasta tres servicios de bebidas. Mintió diciendo que nuestras bebidas estaban siendo hechas, todavía no había aparecido después de media hora. Miembro del personal gritándonos por salir por las puertas tratando de encontrar gerente. Hablamos con el pesebre que era muy disculpado y parecía tan incrédulo como nosotros en nuestra experiencia. No regresaré.

Unfortunately we were over booked for their bottomless brunch and wanted us to sit in the "vip" area that was beyond cold and no atmosphere!! Absolutely shocking pre paid our day out and not been able to have it. Far from a happy customer

Shocking. When you book AND pay £225 upfront SIX WEEKS in advance, arrive promptly and told there is no table for your birthday party, are placed in the overspill room which is freezing and then told you won’t be refunded for 3-7 days as they have no authorisation to do so... lost for words.

Excellent service, Sacha couldn’t do enough! Thank you for a fantastic evening with friends

Was there from 11 until about 1am. Friday night, was dead… however all 5+ staff were ‘cleaning’ the bar, which seemed to consist of pouring unused drink mixes into some suspicious looking containers and then putting them on the floor. Same funnel used for all liquids, no concern for cleaning. Whilst this nonsense was going on only one poor chap serving, despite a small queue of people waiting. £22 for two vodka and lemonades. Drinks massively overpriced, tasted weird, I don’t believe they were legit spirits or post mix. No wonder this place was dead…. RIP businesses like this. Move along please.

The host was the best bit about the place in A very anxious man and she put me At ease instantly 10/10 will come again

Fab brunch, Kesia was the best hostess would highly recommend for Christmas brunch, didn’t leave us waiting, always there before we even finished our last drink.xx

We loved the asthetics of dirty martini, atmosphere was great with a decent mix of Christmas songs , we had a birdcage, the selection was good,gutted there was no sweet choices. Plenty of drinks to choose from on the menu. Special shout out to Zoe - who was not only supper attentive but very friendly, a huge asset to the team!

The bottomless brunch was fantastic, such a good deal, delicious food and drinks and the staff were a dream

Very run down, staff great, food wasn't bad though

Came here for my friend’s 21st birthday bottomless brunch, it was quiet in the main area but Tom was amazing. Tom was the only bartender on that evening as it was mainly just our table but we had an amazing time. He was fast on drinks and made us all the different cocktails which were delicious the food was great as well. Would recommend to everyone for bottomless brunch in Cardiff as it was £30pp for loads of drinks and food. Couldn’t have asked for a better bartender and server he was so attentive and made my friend’s birthday amazing for everyone. Amazing service and a great night thank you so much!!!

Tom. Hows volar el mejor bar tierno por ahí no podía describir lo amable y cálido acogedor que era. Hice mi cumpleaños tan especial y nunca olvidaré mi calle 21 con Tom empezando mi noche libre tan especial como él lo ha hecho! Si vas a ensuciar el martini yo nunca lo debatiría, es tan bueno que la comida era 100% encantadora y las bebidas eran para morirse! ¡La calle 21 estaba muy bien gastada! ¡Todo gracias a Tom!

Tom made our night extra special!

Amazing service, lovely atmosphere & fabulous food

¡El peor almuerzo! Si quisiera jarras de cócteles diluidos me habría ido a Wetherspoons. A menos que tú y tu grupo beban la misma bebida, ¡esto es una farsa absoluta! Comida básica! ¡Vaya a babosa y lechuga donde puede elegir una bebida de su elección!

Love the vibe, food and drinks! Service was fab from both Tom and Alex too!

Amazing service , great staff, lovely atmosphere, excellent food!! Thank you

Went there on the 26th October Halloween weekend. Bouncer absolutely lovely guy with me and my partner. Went there for Halloween cocktails as per website. 2 bar staff ( really) waited 20 minutes got passed over 3 times by people when it was my turn. Politily told the guy who was serving so again waited my turn. Then the woman bar staff deliberately served yet another person. Ieft annoyed and seriously disappointed went next door to walkabout straightaway fantastic service and night spent over £100.

My first time here and it was amazing! Food was lush! Our server Tom couldn’t do anymore! Keep the drinks coming!

Pints rather than bottles - Alex gave amazing service!

Had a great time at bottomless brunch! Zoe was fabulous xx

Lovely experience. Alex was great :)

Bottomless brunch is definitely not bottomless, drinks needed prompting and 3 is the limit. Asked for more and was told we all had already had 3!

Out server Tom was outstanding. He put up with 9 rowdy women but also kept the drink flowing. We had one person who had a shellfish allergy, so the chef left it off everyone's cage. We appreciated the thoughtfulness. All the food was amazing as we're the drinks.

El lugar en sí es fabuloso. Pero el servicio fue horrible Terrible relación calidad-precio No hay fondo sobre lo que recibimos. Gran música y vibraciones en la pista de baile, pero como un agujero no volvería a asistir allí para un brunch sin fondo. Sólo tuvimos 4 rondas de bebidas. Y la cuarta ronda fue solo porque tuvimos que hablar con el gerente

Amazing experience could ask for more . Bar tender Mich made it brilliant (Cardiff)

Mitch was amazing tonight. He made my night so special. Such a credit to your business

Ines was a dream. Very attentive when we needed a refill, prior to being empty. What you want when you’re on a bottomless brunch! Food was very good xx

Mitchell was great constantly on the ball

Sasha was amazing, exactly what you want when having a bottomless brunch!! Thank you!!

The best bottomless brunch in Cardiff! Great food, good selection of drinks and the service is super quick and attentive so you get your money’s worth. Tom was great. Thanks!

Sasha was so friendly and easy to talk to xXx

Sasha was so helpful and we loved our experience

Didn’t eat but the espressi martini cocktails and service was great.

Such a fab eve! We had Alex as our waitress and she was so lovely & helpful, would recommend :)

The service was amazing. Have to thank Ines for the amazing service and being so attentive to your table.

very quick and lovely service from Alecs!!

Mis 3 amigos y yo tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa, tuvimos un muchacho que nos sirvió y él era muy bueno llevándonos bebidas que nunca pasamos sin y las jaulas de pájaros estaban llenas de deliciosas delicias para comer! Recomendaría encarecidamente un brunch sin fondo en martini sucio y sin duda volvería a reservar gracias

Fui aquí a comer sin fondo para un cumpleaños conjunto. Realmente decepcionante. . la comida era tan decepcionante, casi nada proporcionado, tuvo que pedir patatas fritas adicionales para que se sintiera un poco más. El servicio era lento, tenía que seguir buscando servidores y cuando nos pidieron más bebidas nos miraron. Un tipo fue excepcionalmente grosero y desdeñoso. Se nos pidió que dejáramos nuestra mesa antes de que hubiéramos terminado nuestras bebidas y se nos dijo que podíamos pararnos junto a la barra. ¡Si no fuera porque las otras mesas se rieron, toda la experiencia habría sido realmente plana! Realmente no recomiendo. No vale el dinero. Las iguanas mucho mejor!

Had bottomless brunch with Ines and the service was amazing! She catered to my allergy needs with no questions. Thanks so much!

Fab service from jess and excellent cocktails

Jess was the best host, friendly and efficient

A fabulous brunch, Jess was an awesome host, quiet but it was a Sunday.

Love the Covent Garden one so thought I would try this one whilst in Cardiff for a few days. Had a fabulous lychee and coconut martini. Throughly recommended

8 of us went out for my sister's birthday for bottomless brunch at dirty martini. Nicola was our waitress and she couldn't have been more on it with the drinks! Before we had finished our drinks, she was coming over and asking what drink we wanted next. The food was incredible, much higher quality than we were expecting. Overall we were all extremely pleased with the service and value for money. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Nicola ❤️
